Clergy pensions

Clergy pensions are retirement benefits provided to religious leaders, such as priests, ministers, and pastors, who have dedicated their careers to serving their communities. These pensions are typically funded through contributions made during their working years, often supplemented by their religious organizations. The goal of clergy pensions is to ensure that retired clergy receive financial support, allowing them to maintain a reasonable standard of living after they leave active ministry. The structure and funding of these pensions can vary widely between different denominations and faith groups.
